The KANGAROO JACK star forgot to hand over his gun after leaving the set
of his TV drama Crossing Jordan, in which he plays a cop, and a security guard
found the weapon when he frisked him outside the party.

O'Connell says, "I rolled into the party in my suit and they were frisking
people as they walked in and I wasn't thinking anything of it. And the guy
frisked me and he was like, 'Yo man, what's this?' and I had my gun there and
my badge.

"It's a real gun, but it's not loaded. I said, 'This isn't mine, you see
I'm an actor,' and he was like, 'We have a gun, we have a gun.' I was running
back to my car."

O'Connell managed to stash his TV gun in his car before returning to the
party. He adds, "I came back and they wouldn't let me in the party. They
thought I was like a hoodlum."
